GODís grace is unmerited favor GRACE means unearned favors received from God.GRACE is the unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification

If we are to be STRONG in the GRACE that is in Christ JesusThen does that mean that we can do whatever we want and just ask the LORD to forgive us? Not a chance.

Romans 6:1-2 1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Heaven Forbid!

No, just as Christís showed his mercy and grace for us.Even while on that cross, he prayed. Father forgive them, they know not what they do.

If we are to be strong in that graceAnd we are to GROW in that same grace.

Then we must act in that same fashion to each other.

Growing in grace in the sense that we too, show grace to one another.

Forgiving and forbearing one another. Even when the person doesnít come up and apologize.

Like water off a ducks back. Let the offence go. Do not hold a grudge. Show grace. Grow in grace.

We heard before the story of the eagle, flying. It was being annoyed by other smaller birds, and to get away, the eagle did not fight or charge or hold a grudge - it flew above the problem. It soared.

We too must soar above and learn from the FATHER above. He has shown us his mercy and grace. And if we are to live like Him, to be not only followers of Christ, but examples to others OF the love of Chirst.

I once heard it like this - We may be the only - Christ - that people know. We may be the only vision of what Christ was all about to someone who is looking on us. Not that we ARE Christ, but that we exemplify, magnify, glorify Jesus Christ.

So if we are to be strong in the grace of ChristAnd we are to GROW in the grace of Christ
